Some bacteria and fungi such as yeast complete their own version of anaerobic respiration called fermentation. This is the equation: glucose → ethanol + carbon dioxide Yeast undergoes ...
“What's unique about it is that they don't just focus on [NTM] which is usually what the spotlight’s on. They're actually looking at a range of bacteria, both aerobic and anaerobic,” said Friedman.
Anaerobic bacteria are very rarely found in water ... salmonellae of enteric fever can live from two days to three months, shigella — from 5-9 days, and leptospira — from seven to 150 days.
the versatile BioFlo ® 310 fermentor from New Brunswick Scientific allows growth of a wide variety of aerobic and anaerobic microorganisms, including bacteria, plant, algae, fungi and yeast.
